I think there must be a lot of other stuff overlaying that baseline genetic level attraction, because every time I see one of those faces that are supposed to be the most technically beautiful I can appreciate them aesthetically, but they just don't tick over that primitive must have mating thing in my monkey brain.

Pretty much no human face does that for me. In my mind there are only two tiers of facial beauty: Acceptable and OH GOD WHAT THE FARK?? The other 99% of how I judge physical beauty depends solely on things located between the neck and thighs (no offense to foot pervs).

If there wasn't variety there'd be too much competition for a specific group, but if there wasn't basic agreement there'd be too much variety/difficulty finding what you like in a limited population group.
